Cancer is becoming more common. This year, the number of new cancer cases among Americans is projected to exceed 2 million for the first time ever, according to a paper published last month by the American Cancer Society.
The disease is also afflicting people earlier in their lives. Cancer diagnosis rates for people under 50 rose nearly 13% since 2000. Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death for men under 50 — and the second-leading cause for women.
Statistics like these show just how hard it will be for the Biden administration’s Cancer Moonshot to halve the cancer death rate by 2047. And they’ve made their job much harder by rolling out a program of price controls on prescription drugs.
